The Centre

The Centre drives high-quality child and youth mental health services by setting the bar for excellence and collaborating with others to pursue continuous quality improvement. We promote evidence-informed service planning and delivery and support practical research to close knowledge gaps when they get in the way of effective and accessible services.
